Re your enquiry PM sent to you

Great coaching game Playing snooker with a rack of 6 or 10 reds originated in the 'club' environment of the snooker world. The number of people wishing to use the tables was more than the amount of tables available. It was easier to reduce the rack size rather than start timing games. More...

Great video link. Good to see a link to the hand version. While a lathe is the preferable method, it is also a method which needs some training. I know some veteran cuemakers that have no idea of lathe speed relating to laminated tip cutting. They subscribe to the faster is better school of...

KD Cues Kent Davis is certainly in the mix. You would be hard pressed to find somebody who didn't like the hit if they were lucky enough to play with one. True gentleman too.

Not so. No to both statements. I have to say that the match was dictated by the centimetre perfect precision of Selby's safety game. There are only 4 people that can bring it to Ronnie unless he is in uber mode...Robbo, Selby, Ding and Hawkins. Today Mark proved why ALL the players are scared...

We need more 'growth'. I have spoken with Mark G and others about the prospect of this happening and the consensus is that without some growth in the Australian player base, competition regularity and industry here as a whole then it is unlikely to happen. At the time Mark was working towards...

Had to answer. Big Bertha is certainly not consistent with ANY snooker style pocket. Notice that the fall of the pocket is nearly next to the edge of the straight section of the rail. The balls do not have to be slammed in however as they can be rolled up and actually drop before they hit the...

Mezz in Australia Send me a PM. I am still the Mezz distributor for Australia.

You have been there before and had a ball...I know ;-) George has the trip wired and will be able to point them anywhere for anything...especially poker and food. Don't stress about having a welcoming committee as they will be hard pressed to pack all they want into the 10 days they are there...

The full break. It certainly was another excellent example of Ronnie's dominance at snooker. The link that has been posted earlier in the thread is a few balls into his run. Thanks to those that posted it but so soon after the event it seems the shorter clip was the only one available. Here is...

I am pretty sure that is a Brunswick Heirloom. Manufactured from late 70's (maybe even earlier) until mid 80's. Very nice score if the slates are in condition. Rails and blind rails are solid mahogany. It should have a brass plate on one rail with an 'Heirloom' name etched in. I picked up one...

Lindrum trumps them all. Any list will always have differences of opinion. There have been a few names tossed in the ring that are worthy and any that I put forward might be backed by some and scoffed at by others. I suggest you speak with some actual World Champions regarding their viewpoints...
